To keep me happy, there's no limit to the things you didĪre full of all the sweet things you did for me You say the words that can get me back in focus 'Cause through the drama, I can always depend on my mama Just workin' with the scraps you was givenĪnd mama made miracles every Thanksgivingīut my plan is to show you that I understand. Your in the kitchen tryin' to fix us a hot plate You never left me alone because you cared for meĪnd I can see you comin' home after work, late 'Cause when I was low you was there for me I hope you got the diamond necklace that I sent to you It feels good puttin' money in your mailbox I ain't guilty 'cause even though I sell rocks I needed money of my own so I started slangin' I hung around with the thugs and even though they sold drugs 'Cause my anger wouldn't let me feel for a strangerīut all along I was lookin' for a father, he was gone No love for my daddy 'cause the coward wasn't there Tell me how you did it, there's no way I can pay you backīut the plan is to show you that I understand. You always was committed, a poor single mother on welfare I finally understand for a woman it ain't easy tryin' to raise a man Mama catch me, put a whoopin' to my backside One day, runnin' from the police that's right I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was hellĪnd who'd think in elementary, hey I'd see the penitentiary The same drama, when things went wrong we blamed mama Over the years we was poorer than the other little kids I was a fool with the big boys, breakin' all the rules Though back at the time I never thought I'd see her faceĪin't a woman alive that could take my mama's place
